Poehler reflected on her involvement with the Anchorman franchise in a recent interview with Vulture.

"I got cut out of the first Anchorman," she recalled. "I was a young gal, hadn't even got my teeth fixed, and I played a bank teller that Maya Rudolph and her gang robbed. I got into a fight."

She continued: "That was one of the coolest experiences because Adam McKay, who's my friend and fellow UCB member, was directing. Even back then, I was like, 'This movie is so long, I'm never going to make it in this' [laughs]. I still feel that way.

"We'll see if I actually make the cut… There are so many cameos. But it was super fun. Those guys are so great and so funny. Will Ferrell's really the most talented person in the world. He's like a comedy Olympian."
